It seems like Kethevane and others are holding Harris to a higher standard regarding her economic plan. I have not heard much about Trump’s economic plan. She can say a thousand words about her plan for every word Trump says, and people will still claim they don’t know what she stands for.

I love hearing what the rest of the world thinks about our American clown show. 😊

Cand repiblicans stop liying even if they are in europe

The debate was about vibes, and Harris nailed it.

This Republican said that voting is as easy as France 🤣 they lie in every continent

[rdavis]

While shaking hands she said her name clearly and looked a him as if challenging him to say it wrong.

For someone who swore he would never go back to New York trump surely spent a lot of time in the Big Apple!

[birhan]

The handshake today can be interpreted as Trump bagging K to pardon him in his upcoming trial next year

[hovertgonzales]

We don't know Kamala Harris but she is Amazing???

[DJS]

Republican expert, who knows Trump lost, tries to sell us on the idea that No One Won.

Entertainment? No this not fun. It's serious to Americans. This is life or death for people around the world and here at home.

It was 3 against one. Two moderators and Kamala, that's three. In my opinion the moderators were not just moderators; they were activists. they were interrogating TRUMP. Why the hell they didn't check KAMALA too?

There is no single bullet solutions to inflation and a question to explain the trend of inflation in 2 minutes is a typical stupid debate question

The "a... a.... a..." is back😢😢😢

8:55 “(…) is it parsed as a bit of entertainment a bit like when the British read out very loud tabloid headlines (…)”

Well, we now know a significant nr of Brits do actually believe those tabloids headlines and do actually do acts of harms on (fake) news of those tabloids

As early as 2001 accdg to Celinda Lake's polling data, Americans spent 9 minutes a week thinking about political issues and much much much less time now. Ultimately the undecided voters arenot voting on the subtle issues that the political comnentariat broadcast talk about

[justoneman]

It’s a battle of good versus evil and both camps are too hardened to change either way. Only thing that will move the needle is to engage voters who never vote.

[shellibelli]

Dan Hazelwood, as a Republican, is engaging in wishful thinking when he says this won’t change a single vote. Harris talked about plans while Trump did not commit to any plans.

[jaketaylor]

Is Trump a starving fish? Or is Kamala the greatest fisherwoman in the history of our species? Because he took the bait every time

I'm a registered Republican. I've voted conservative most of my life. I will not be voting for Trump and I will be voting for Harris/Walz. I wasn't even going to vote when it was Trump Vs Biden. I supported Nikki Haley and even donated to her campaign. Tim Walz and Harris are really moving people. Those who were not going to vote or those who had voted right-wing are getting up and saying, Kamala is our President. She will win and will be our President. I know a lot of conservatives that will be voting for Harris. The Harris energy is real.
